Step-by-Step Instructions for Salmon Sushi Bake
  1. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions (about 20 minutes), then steam for an additional 10 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix this into the warm rice using a wooden spatula.
  3. Cube 1 pound of sushi-grade salmon into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine salmon with ⅓ cup Japanese mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread seasoned sushi rice evenly across the bottom of a greased baking dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of furikake over the rice.
  5. Layer the salmon mixture on top of the rice in the baking dish. Spread evenly.
  6. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and slightly golden.
  7. Remove from the oven, drizzle with teriyaki or eel sauce, and sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional tobiko.
